Blender benchmark score

3,755

Solid mid-range speed for everyday rendering and moderate scenes.

VRAM

8 GB

Enough for moderate scenes; heavy assets may push against the limit.

CUDA cores

6,144

Solid core count for most Blender rendering tasks.

Architecture

Ampere

Previous-generation design — still competitive, especially at higher VRAM tiers.

Memory bandwidth

608.3 GB/s

Moderate bandwidth — sufficient for standard rendering workloads.

Boost clock

1770 MHz

Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.

Render support

OptiX, CUDA

OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.

TDP

290 W

Moderate power needs — standard workstation PSU and cooling should be fine.

Release year

2021
